|
|
for version 11 of the X Window system for non display devices
|
|
such as printers and fax machines.</p><p>Xprint is an advanced printing system which enables X11
|
|
applications to use devices like printers, FAX or create
|
|
documents in formats like PostScript, PCL or PDF. It may be used by
|
|
clients such as <span class="application">mozilla</span>.
|
|
</p><p>Xprint is a very flexible, extensible, scalable, client/server
|
|
print system based on ISO 10175 (and some other specs) and the X11
|
|
rendering protocol.
|
|
Using Xprint an application can search, query and use devices like
|
|
printers, FAX machines or create documents in formats like PDF.
|
|
In particular, an application can seek a printer, query supported
|
|
attributes (like paper size, trays, fonts etc.), configure the printer
|
|
device to match it's needs and print on it like on any other X device
|
|
reusing parts of the code which is used for the video card Xserver.

</p></div><div xmlns:ns1="" class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2805117"></a><h2>USAGE</h2><p>
|
|
Although Xprt may be invoked from the command line, it is
|
|
preferable to run it as a daemon via the init script
|
|
<tt class="filename">/etc/init.d/xprint</tt> (where this script exists).
|
|
</p><p>Client programs such as mozilla will require environment
|
|
variable <tt class="envar">${XPSERVERLIST}</tt> to be set, identifying the
|
|
"display" on which Xprt is running. This variable may be set
|
|
for all users via <tt class="filename">/etc/profile</tt> (or similar), using
|
|
<b class="userinput"><tt>/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist</tt></b>:
|
|
</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">export XPSERVERLIST=`/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist`</pre></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2805150"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><p>Many of Xprt's command line options are shared in common
|
|
with the usual X servers (see <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">Xserver</span>(1x)</span>).
|
|
Commonly used options include:</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">:<i class="replaceable"><tt>display</tt></i></tt></span></dt><dd><p> The X server runs on the given display. If multiple X
|
|
servers are to run simultaneously on a host, each must
|
|
have a unique display number. Note that the standard X
|
|
server (for video displays) typically runs on display
|
|
:0. If <tt class="filename">/etc/init.d/xprint</tt> is used
|
|
to invoke Xprt, it may be configured to automatically assign an available
|
|
display number.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">-ac</tt></span></dt><dd><p>disables host-based access control mechanisms. Enables access
|
|
by any host, and permits any host to modify the access control
|
|
list. Use with extreme caution. This option exists primarily
|
|
for running test suites remotely.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">-audit <i class="replaceable"><tt>level</tt></i></tt></span></dt><dd><p>sets the audit trail level. The default level is 1, meaning
|
|
only connection rejections are reported. Level 2 additionally
|
|
reports all successful connections and disconnects. Level 4
|
|
enables messages from the SECURITY extension, if present,
|
|
including generation and revocation of authorizations and
|
|
violations of the security policy. Level 0 turns off the audit
|
|
trail. Audit lines are sent as standard error output.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">-fp <i class="replaceable"><tt>fontpath</tt></i></tt></span></dt><dd><p>sets the search path for fonts. This path is a comma
|
|
separated list of directories which Xprt searches for
|
|
font databases.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">-pn</tt></span></dt><dd><p>permits the server to continue running if it fails to
|
|
establish all of its well-known sockets (connection
|
|
points for clients), but establishes at least
|
|
one.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">-XpFile <i class="replaceable"><tt>file</tt></i></tt></span></dt><dd><p>Sets an alternate Xprinters file (see section FILES).</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="option">-XpSpoolerType <i class="replaceable"><tt>spoolername</tt></i></tt></span></dt><dd xmlns:ns2=""><p>

</p></dd></dl></div></div><div xmlns:ns3="" class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2805336"></a><h2>ENVIRONMENT</h2><p>
|
|
The following environment variables are recognized by the X print server
|
|
(environment variables recognized by Xprint clients are described in
|
|
<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">Xprint</span>(7)</span>):
|
|
|
|
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt class="envar">${XPCONFIGDIR}</tt></span></dt><dd><p> This environment variable points to the root
|
|
of the Xprint server configuration directory hierarchy.
|
|
If the variable is not defined, the default
|
|
path is be assumed. The default path may be
|
|
<tt class="filename">/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/</tt>,
|
|
<tt class="filename">/usr/lib/X11/xserver/</tt>,
|
|
<tt class="filename">/usr/share/Xprint/xserver/</tt> or
|
|
<tt class="filename">/usr/openwin/server/etc/XpConfig</tt>, depending on the
|
|
system, and may be configured in <tt class="filename">/etc/init.d/xprint</tt>.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="envar">${LANG}</tt></span></dt><dd><p>
|
|
This environment variable selects the locale settings used by the Xprint server.
|
|
Xprt allows language-specific settings (stored in <tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/</tt>)
|
|
which will override the default settings (stored in <tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/</tt>).
|
|
If <tt class="envar">${LANG}</tt> is not set "C" is assumed.
|
|
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2805421"></a><h2>FILES</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/Xprinters</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/Xprinters</tt></span></dt><dd><p>
|
|
`Xprinters' is the top most configuration file. It tells
|
|
Xprt which specific printer names (e.g. mylaser) should
|
|
be supported, and whether <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lpstat</span>(1)</span> or other commands
|
|
should be used to automatically supplement the list of
|
|
printers.
|
|
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/printer</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/printer</tt></span></dt><dd><p>
|
|
The `printer' file maps printer names to model
|
|
configurations (see `model-config' below). For example,
|
|
"mylaser" could be mapped to a "HPDJ1600C", and all other
|
|
arbitrary printers could be mapped to a default, such as
|
|
"HPLJ4SI". When depending on <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lpstat</span>(1)</span> in the Xprinters
|
|
file, setting up defaults in `printer' becomes all the
|
|
more important.
|
|
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/document</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/document</tt></span></dt><dd><p>
|
|
The `document' file specifies the initial document values
|
|
for any print jobs. For example, which paper tray to
|
|
use, what default resolution, etc.
|
|
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/attributes/job</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/attributes/job</tt></span></dt><dd><p>
|
|
The `job' file specifies the initial job values for any
|
|
print jobs. For example, "notification-profile" can be
|
|
set so that when a print job is successfully sent to a
|
|
printer, e-mail is sent to the user.
|
|
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/model-config</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/fonts.dir</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/9nb00051.pmf</tt>, </span><span class="term"><tt class="filename">${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/9nb00093.pmf</tt></span></dt><dd><p>
|
|
The `model-config' file has attributes that describe the
|
|
printer model's capabilities and default settings.
|
|
Printer model fonts may also be present. The model-config
|
|
file also identifies the print ddx driver to be used.
|
|
|
|
For each printer model supported, a complete hierarchy of
|
|
files should exist. In most cases, these files do not
|
|
need to be modified.

|
|
The print ddx drivers can have highly specific
|
|
configuration files to control their behavior. In most
|
|
cases, these files do not need to be modified.
